Added DiffLines:

* In one video, Hank mentions himself and his brother discussing who their favorite Series/DoctorWho is (Tom Baker and Creator/DavidTennant respectively) which immediately caused fans to point out [[IAmNotShazam the character's name is actually The Doctor]].
* In one episode there was a Tardis shown, and the caption read: "You're welcome Whovians."
* In one Psychology episode, mention is made of the thoughts going through your head as you're suddenly woken up, such as whether or not [[Series/DoctorWho Weeping Angels]] are real.
* In another video, John says that, just like [[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort's soul,]] he's gonna break the video into eight parts.
* A sticker on John's laptop reads "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists This machine kills fascists]]".
* "Fighting over such things, like whether the proverbial [[TheCakeIsALie cake is a lie]] rarely accomplishes anything."
* In the episode about Japanese History, the Thought Bubble had [[Videogame/{{Okami}} Amaterasu]] do a cameo.
* In another episode Thought Bubble had [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] do a cameo, and in the US History episode they had {{Music/Skrillex}} appear as a US delegate.
* Just about any mention of tortoise shells brings a [[VideoGame/MarioKart Red Shell]] to attack John in ''World History'', therefore overlapping with RunningGag.
** Any Thought Bubble sequence -- especially when John's reading a quotation -- tends to be littered with shoutouts and pop-culture references. There are also a couple of minor recurring characters that appear throughout the ages in ''World History''.
* A particularly clear one in ''Psychology'': "Measuring Personality" opens with a lineup of people who are fairly obviously [[Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack Bennett, Morello, Crazy Eyes, Red, Norma, and Taystee]].
* US History video number 6 contains a "Libertage" (liberty montage) captioned with "America: [[Franchise/StarWars making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs]] since 1776."
* The ''CC Games'' episode on PC gaming opens with Andrew giving a shout out to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Master_Race "PC master race"]]--a term coined back in 2008 by ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation''.
* Episode 15 of Psychology has a ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' reference in the form of a chibi Hank hitting Brick Blocks and getting an Anglerfish suit as a powerup from an invisible block.
* Episode 16 of Psych has a brief moment where a guy playing ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' appears on the side.
* Film/{{ET}} and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} a Pokéball]] appear in Episode 19 of Psych.
* [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]], [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]], Franchise/{{Superman}} and [[Series/SesameStreet Count von Count]] appear in episode 21 of Psych.
* [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]] makes a few appearances in Episode 25 of Psych.
* Episode 34 of Psychology contains quite a few references, including [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture a transformed Delorean]], a passing reference to ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'', and cameos from [[Franchise/TheMatrix Neo]], [[Film/BillAndTed Ted]], Music/MileyCyrus, [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]], and [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 the Angry Sun]].
* Starting at Episode 12 of Philosophy, in the new Squarespace sponsor there's a person waving a sign. [[FreezeFrameBonus If paused at the right moment,]] behind them, [[Series/{{Sherlock}} Sherlock Holmes]] can be spotted in the crowd.
* Frequently, speeches about railways will include a character holding [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas]].
* In the episode on Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance, the very first Thought Bubble annotation on a historical monologue/writing features several class symbols from VideoGame/TeamFortress2.
